About Kākāpō
The kākāpō is a unique bird
The kākāpō is one of the rarest parrots in the world:
It’s flightless
It’s the world’s heaviest parrot
It’s possibly the oldest living bird and
It has a low-frequency mating boom that can travel several kilometres
And that’s just a few things that make kākāpō so special!
The kākāpō can only be found in New Zealand and every year countless people from around the world – including dozens of hard working volunteers – give their time and energy trying to save the kākāpō from the brink of extinction.
